|AMD's 2700+ to use 333MHz FSB Posted Friday, August 23, 2002 @ 12:54 AM by mayhem
|Sources said that AMD's next speed step, after today's announcement of the 2400+ and 2600+ Athlon XPs, will be a 2700+ which will use a 333MHz front side bus (FSB).
But AMD may also attempt to introduce other features into the 2700+ if engineers can make that work.
Those could include Barton like elements such as SOI (silicon on insulator) and a 512K cache but that's dependent on whether the designers can make these elements work in a 2700+ chip.
The target date now for the 2700+ is October but while the engineers can introduce a 333 FSB with few if any problems, we understand that they are having difficulties making the SOI process work.
As there are only a few weeks to go before the marketeers want to run the 2700+ into the marketplace, it would seem to us touch and go whether those problems can be safely ironed out before the launch date.
AMD's processor cup and roadmaps rather overfloweth. Not only is the firm re-engineering its Dresden fab ready for the launch of 64-bit Hammer processors, it also has mobile chips and MP (multiprocessing) chips to make.

|AMD to cut prices as well! Posted Thursday, August 22, 2002 @ 9:22 AM by mayhem
With the release of the well needed refresh of their AthlonXP line, AMD has also introduced price cuts to coincide with the launch of the AthlonXP 2400+ and 2600+.
"AMD's latest chip to this point, the Athlon XP 2200+, came out in June and could be bought the same day it was announced on computers from Hewlett-Packard, among others.
The Athlon XP 2600+ will run at 2.133GHz; the 2400+ will run at 2GHz, said Nathan Brookwood, an analyst at Insight 64. Although slower in terms of megahertz, the upcoming Athlons boast performance that's roughly comparable to that of Intel's best chips.
"(AMD) had fallen behind, but they have closed the gap to a certain degree," Brookwood said.
The two new Athlon chips will list for $297 and $193, respectively. And given a new round of price cuts, the 2400+ chip will list for only slightly more than the 2200+, which was lowered 20 percent from $230 to $183.
AMD also reduced prices by between 3 percent and 12 percent on the rest of its desktop Athlon XP models. It cut the price of the 2100+ chip from $180 to $174; the 2000+ chip from $163 to $155; the 1900+ chip from $150 to $139; the 1800+ from $142 to $130; and the 1700+ from $130 to $114."

The idea seemed to be that using this, Opterons can be warm rebooted in just a few seconds. But other tasks it looks after include remote administration even when there's a complete system crash.
Although DDR 333 is not ECC registered yet, the impression he got from this partner was that support for it, and for DDR-II memory, was on the way as well. The machine only used two memory slots out of four, but uses 2GB modules – currently they are apparently very expensive compared to 1GB modules, but the price may come down when this dual Hammer/Opteron launches in February

Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates of Microsoft will be ever so pleased.

|KT 400 will support faster AMD front side bus Posted Monday, August 19, 2002 @ 10:53 AM by mayhem
|The minute we heard AMD might actually adopt a 333MHz front side bus (FSB) we started to nose about a bit.
So we asked Via whether its KT400 will support such an FSB and we got a straight reply that "The KT400 supports all existing and future AMD Athlon processor FSB speeds".
So if, rather when, AMD decides to go-go for an FSB higher than the current 266 bus, Via will support it.
According to other sources, even the KT333 or the widely accepted KT333CE will have support for this speed meaning that users with these boards will be able to use all the benefits of Athlons with a 333 MHz. As we noted elsewhere, the cunning plan seems to be that AMD will eventually offer all XPs it will still carry with that bus.
It also means that if you buy a KT400 or an Nvidia based Nforce 2, board, life will be, as the saying goes, "just a bowl of cherries".
Which led me to remember, if my memory serves me well, that the good old Alpha EV6 bus of blessed memory is physically capable of supporting a 400MHz front side bus. Not that AMD cares about that any more, of course.
The intro of Athlon XPs with 333MHz support will once more give the Pentium 4 a run for its money. The chip wars have started again, in earnest!
Now we need to find out what the other third party chipset manufacturers feel about this move. (Source: AusPCWorld)

|AMD's Athlon plays catch-up with Intel Posted Sunday, August 18, 2002 @ 10:38 PM by mayhem
|Advanced Micro Devices will rev up the performance of its Athlon XP processor with new models, due later this month. The chipmaker will introduce, at a minimum, an Athlon XP 2400+ and an Athlon XP 2600+ for desktop PCs toward the end of the month, sources familiar with AMD's plans said. AMD is also evaluating whether to increase the speed of the chip's front-side bus--the pathway used to shuttle data between the processor and PC memory. Doing so would boost the performance of future Athlon-based PCs.
The newest Athlon XPs will help AMD increase its competitiveness with archrival Intel's Pentium 4. The Pentium 4 currently tops out at 2.53GHz, while AMD's highest performance Athlon XP is a 2200+ model, which runs at 1.8GHz.
To get there, AMD moved up the launch of the 2600+ chip, which was not expected until the fourth quarter, to this month. The move helps AMD combat Intel's imminent 2.8GHz Pentium 4 launch. Intel moved the chip forward to this month from the fourth quarter to help stimulate demand, analysts said.
Both companies are expected to cut chip prices as the new chips become available.

|Official Windows XP Products IDs That Wont Install SP1 Posted Friday, August 16, 2002 @ 2:01 PM by mayhem
This is an official system builder newsletter from Microsoft:
"Windows XP SP1 Will Not Install on Known Pirated Installations
When released, Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Windows XP will not install if it identifies the underlying Windows XP installation as a known pirated installation. SP1 identifies known pirated installations by their Product IDs. The Product ID is generated from the Product Key used during install and can be found by choosing My Computer, then Properties, and viewing the General tab.
SP1 will not install on installations with the following product IDs containing the following serial numbers (note that X takes the place of any other value): XXXXX-640-0000356-23XXX, & XXXXX-640-2001765-23XXX. Users of licensed Microsoft software will be unaffected. If SP1 is installed on a Windows XP installation with one of the above product IDs, SP1 installation will fail and error with the following message: Service Pack 1 Setup Error: The product key used to install Windows is invalid.
Please contact your system administrator or retailer immediately to obtain a valid product key. You may also contact Microsoft Corporation's Anti-Piracy Team by emailing email@example.com if you think you have purchased pirated Microsoft software. Please be assured that any personal information you send to the Microsoft Anti-Piracy team will be kept in strict confidence."

|AMD to intro 2400+, 2600+ on 21st Posted Friday, August 16, 2002 @ 10:47 AM by mayhem
|A shocked silence greeted the INQUIRER this morning when we asked AMD UK to either confirm or deny it was introducing its 2400+ and 2600+ Athlon XPs on the 21st of August next.
Whole seconds later, AMD said it never commented on unannounced products.
System integrators close to AMD in Taipei suggest that the 2600+ has a raw MHz speed of 2.133GHz, while the 2400+ clocks 2GHz.
But, nevertheless, neither of these chipolatas has a 333MHz front side bus (FSB), although we do know for a fact that the little gnomes in the back room are tapping away at such a system as we write this.
In fact, leprechauns close to those gnomes say that AMD will eventually migrate the 333MHz FSB to all of them thar Athlon XPs eventually.
Meanwhile, the Taiwanese system integrator tells the INQ that the new Thoroughbred processors are running much cooler than the old ones.
As we revealed yesterday, Intel has shuffled its 2.80GHz Pentium 4 processor launch up to the 26th of August, a few days ahead of the expected time of arrival. (Source: AusPCWorld)

|Red Hat unfurls Hammer plans Posted Wednesday, August 14, 2002 @ 12:42 PM by mayhem
|Red Hat Software will bring out a version of its server software for the Hammer processor family from Advanced Micro Devices, as momentum for the chip builds.
Raleigh, N.C.-based Red Hat, the dominant seller of the Linux operating system, said that it would bring out a copy of Red Hat Linux Advanced Server for Hammer, the code name for a family of desktops and server processors that will begin to hit the shelves in the first quarter next year.
Red Hat will come out with a 64-bit version of its software for Hammer and ensure that its 32-bit version will work on the chip as well. The company will demonstrate a 32-bit version of its software running on a Hammer server at LinuxWorld on Tuesday.
Software makers and others have lined up behind Hammer since the beginning of the year. In April, Microsoft said it would tune Windows to run on Hammer, while German Linux distributor SuSE said in March that it would come out with software.
More recently, IBM said it would release a version of DB2 version 8 database for Hammer and Linux. Hardware manufacturers are evaluating whether and how to include the chip in products, according to AMD executives and other sources.
"Red Hat is the biggest name in Linux software, so it is a big deal for AMD," said Kevin Krewell, an analyst with The Microprocessor Report, an industry newsletter. "They are starting to pick up the right support."

|Sun gambles on new Linux computer Posted Tuesday, August 13, 2002 @ 11:13 AM by mayhem
|Sun Microsystems on Monday unveiled its first general-purpose computer running the free Linux operating system in what is seen as both a turning point for the company and a potential threat to its traditional products. Known for its million-dollar machines that powered dot-coms during the Internet boom years, Sun aims to grab a piece of the market for cheap, commodity servers, but analysts say it runs the risk of hurting its higher-margin business if it embraces Linux too fully.
Sun's LX50 computer holds up to two Pentium III microchips from Intel, runs a Sun version of Linux and will start at a price of $2,795.
Sun already uses Linux on low-end special-purpose servers, but those do not have the flexibility to compete with its main product line, analyst have said. The low end is squarely where Sun is positioning its new machine. It argues that Solaris development will pace Linux, so the two can coexist under the umbrella of Sun's middleware software, which binds networks together and acts as an operating system for the entire network.
Rivals hope Linux will eviscerate Sun's high-profit business for bigger machines as it becomes more powerful.

Carlyle and Day is a global provider of investment decision support tools for the private capital market. Our tools are software applications for portfolio monitoring and reporting, performance measurement and benchmarking, cash flow forecasting, document management, investor administration and exposure analysis; investment services, such as holdings and fundamentals transparency, portfolio reporting, data management and research, including model validation and simulations; and data and analytics, such as benchmarks, performance, risk and behavioural data on the private capital market.
Against a backdrop of mounting competition and reporting requirements, the private equity market is experiencing a heightened need for transparency for investors and regulators alike, who are demanding greater access to timely information. With the right private equity software, firms are in a stronger position to meet stringent reporting and due diligence demands – and improve both operational efficiency and investment performance.
Today, in their hunger for data, private equity limited partners expect general partners to deliver the same granularity and transparency that investors receive from the public market. Meanwhile, the need to comply with a range of new requirements, including the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), Form PF of the Dodd-Frank Act and the Institutional Limited Partners Association (ILPA) guidelines, has added to the demands placed on PE firms.
But for the sector as a whole, transparency and accuracy are the foundation of not only reporting and compliance but also informed investment decisions. To continue to operate effectively while delivering growth and performance, private equity firms therefore need new ways to transform data into intelligent information. As a result, investment in private equity software – and the automation and streamlining of data processes – is becoming essential for maintaining a competitive edge.

It was a historical NCAA tournament — and an unforgettable Saturday night — for the Penn State wrestling team.
Not only did the Nittany Lions clinch their sixth national championship in seven years, even after most doubted them when Nick Suriano (125 pounds) was forced to pull out due to an injury. Not only did five wrestlers reach the finals, surpassing expectations.
But, after all wrestling was completed, Penn State had five individual champions crowned. It tied a record for most NCAA championships with the 1986 and 1997 Iowa teams and the 2005 Oklahoma State.
Zain Retherford (149), Jason Nolf (157), Vincenzo Joseph (165), Mark Hall (174) and Bo Nickal (184) all won their championship matches.
"It was incredible," Nittany Lions coach Cael Sanderson told ESPN. "I don't have the words to describe it. These guys wrestled amazing. They are the ones making it fun. That was a lot of fun tonight."
None were more impressive than what Joseph and Nickal achieved. Each took out two-time NCAA champions to capture their crowns.
Trailing 6-5 early in the third period, Illinois' Isaiah Martinez tried to go upper body with Joseph. Martinez went for the throw, but the redshirt freshman used his patented inside trip to flatten Martinez to the mat in 5:25.
"He's a phenomenal wrestler. He's a bully on the mat," Joseph said. "And this time I was definitely ready for that. I was coming right back at him. I'm just very thankful to be here right now. I want to thank my coaches, my family and my teammates."
Nickal, who earned the award for the most pins in the shortest amount of time, took on Cornell's Gabe Dean in the marquee matchup.
Dean tallied the match's first takedown with a nice single leg. Nickal quickly escaped and scored the next three points. He fended off several Dean attempts in the third for the 4-3 victory.
Hall became just the 17th true freshman to claim an NCAA title. He overpowered Ohio State's Bo Jordan for the crown.
Hall used a three-point second period and got another takedown late while avoiding his second stall call for the 5-2 win.
"It's a tough tournament," the true freshman said. "The important thing, just have fun. I told myself over and over as soon as the negative thought came into my mind, I replaced it with Jesus loves you, NCAA champion, over and over."
Retherford kept his domination rolling in his finals match with Missouri's Lavion Mayes.
Mayes picked up the first points with a takedown 28 seconds in — and that was all he scored.
Retherford, who was named the Most Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament, used three sets of four near-fall points in the third period in scoring 18 unanswered points for the 18-2 win. It was his second consecutive NCAA title. It was Retherford's 63rd straight victory spanning back to his fifth-place victory in 2013 — his true freshman year at 141 pounds.
"Yep," Retherford said about being taken down first. "I've been taken down before. I was feeling kind of nervous a little bit, but more excited nervous. So that's the signal it's 'go time.' It's national finals, 'Let's go.' So, yeah, just focusing on keep scoring after that point, doesn't matter."
Nolf controlled his match with the Tigers' Joey LaVallee from start to finish.
He tallied a takedown in the first and second periods but he ratcheted it up in the third period with four takedowns in a 14-6 major-decision win.
"Pretty excited as you can tell by my face," Nolf said. "I'm more of a mellow, stoic kind of guy. But I was really excited scoring a lot of points out there. I still think I could have scored more. But that would just keep me ready for next year. And I'm really looking forward to watching my other teammates wrestle."
Nick Nevills wrestled back to finish fifth with a 4-3 sudden-victory win over Duke's Jacob Kasper at 285 pounds. Kasper knocked Nevills into the consolation bracket with a 3-1 win in the quarterfinals on Friday morning. Nevills dropped into the fifth-place match with a 5-3 loss to Virginia Tech's Ty Walz on Saturday morning.
Penn State finished the tournament with 146.5 points — a new school record. Ohio State finished second 36.5 points behind and Oklahoma State finished third with 103 points.
"This is a great team," Sanderson said. "Surinao getting hurt, he's a guy who we felt had a legit chance at winning a national championship as well. This was our best dual season ever just in how we competed, and we were on the road.
"When you have a great dual season like that, you want to finish it off with a national championship, so I'm glad things worked out for us."

Are you tired of living in the same house for many years with absolutely little changes made inside? There are many people who despite being fed up of living in the same house over and over again simply cannot leave because of many reasons. This may be due to many reasons like the fact that the location is convenient, lack of funds to leave, good neighbors or even due to many memories created. If you find yourself in a similar situation then keep reading on.
Finding the Right Solution
To solve this issue especially if you are in a financially tight spot, its best to decide of you want to renovate your house completely or trasform your outdoor space of your home. There's a wide range of options that you can choose from, for example why not demolish and/or merge neighboring rooms or even try timber decking on the front porch. It's very important that you plan in advance.
Making Good Use of Available Space
One of the biggest available space that you have is your home roof. This very roof can be transformed into a massive living area that you can occupy. Now of course you can argue saying that your current foundation may not be able to support and additional structure, but with proper consultation it's more likely that you will be able to at least have timber decking on your roof accompanied by a light shed. This additional space is actually more than enough and not only will you have so much room to accommodate your extra items but also a new recreational area to include any living space you want from dining to outdoor barbeque.
Don't just stop at your roof, if you really are unable to transform it there are most likely other spaces you can seize. Most houses might have many areas that are left vacant for further development or maybe your garden is a little too big when compared with you house. Why not grab up a portion of this and include a new living space or even an outdoor verandah? Not only will your house look more beautiful and eye catching, you'll love it even more than you used to!
Changing the Outlook
The biggest turn offs in household items from furniture to appliances is the presence of old and outdated products. Upgrade your home technically by replacing all those old light bulbs to the new LED ones, in addition to this invest in other new technologies to make your home look more new. Give your house a new paint job to finish it up. And voila you got yourself a new home.

To all the winning designers: If you would like your credit changed or a link added, please don't hesitate to let me know.

You never know.
However, if you would like to remain anonymous, that's fine too.
Tomorrow I'll unveil the final logo designs for the West Division.

Nature bloomed around me as I started my morning walk. Mother Earth, long since awake, held the birds flitting the atmosphere, while they sung carelessly. Calmed, the young leaves were restless and busy. Their mother's breath, a deep fresh contended sigh for all that was going right with her children.
Happy to be in her presence, I continued to walk past neighbors' homes, driveways and meadows, appreciating openness, space and raw beauty. A large, blue plastic grocery bag crinkled in my pocket. The sound, a reminder that Mother Earth does not feel everyone's embrace.
Arriving near the river, I look for that discarded trash I had encountered on a previous walk. Fast food refuse, cigarette packages, beer bottles, cans. Seven or eight single-serving chocolate milk containers clumped together, consumed and abandoned on the side of the road, far from a recycling bin.
One can imagine the mental excuses used to make it all okay. No one is watching, so hey, it doesn't matter where I put my trash. Personal responsibility towards the Earth? Whaaa? One and the same as our planet? Seriously, now. Mother Earth, watching? Where? Starting to get a little nervous now.
Personal responsibility is a sign of maturity. We all need it to function as healthy adults and to have good relationships with others, including Mother Earth. Don't fool yourself by thinking no one will know, and no one is watching. They are . . .
Remember, your Momma is watching you, and she is not happy! Pick up your darn trash!

So its been a grey and wet Monday here in my neck of the woods. The snow is melting:), but the mud is practically up to my ankles. I want to go slashing around in it like a 5 year old. In fact, I did go sloshing around in it like a 5 year and it was fun, but I am thinking about going back outside and sloshing some more. I also had the day off because I went and got my tests done to see if I can still be the donor of a kidney for my husband (waiting on results), and after that I came home and spent some time in my happy place. I am almost done with my major cleaning, which is a big deal since it has been going on since the middle of January.
Otherwise, I enjoyed my Monday off from work and enjoyed having the day to myself. I watched another Highlander movie (the third one) and read a little bit of a new book (Ann Patchett's State of Wonder).
I hope your Monday was a good one too, and more importantly-
Happy T Day!

Ten IRS Tax Audit Red Flags
6 years ago
I've been doing my own taxes since I was 16. It's really not that hard when your taxes aren't too complicated. That and I'm just too cheap to hand someone money to do what I can do on my own. I must be doing it correctly since I've never been audited, but today I am doing some community service and pointing out ten red flags that will get the IRS to audit your taxes.
Statistically, getting audited is a pretty rare event. Only about 1.11% of all tax filers are every audited, but if you happen to do some dumb things, you raise those odds dramatically.
No matter who prepares your taxes you are ultimately responsible for what gets submitted to the IRS. It doesn't matter if the tax preparer was shady or if you miraculously found some extra receipts to submit to the IRS. If you don't want the IRS popping up at your door, don't do anything below.
- You Don't File At All
Big red flag, Wesley Snipes. You gotta file. No one says that you have to file by April 15, but you do have to file. Here's a secret that I'll share. I always get money back and have actually waited two years to file some of my taxes. There is no penalty for filing late if you are due a return. I used that money to pay off one of my student loans. However, if you owe, you should at least file an extension.
- "Forgetting" Some Income
Woopsie, I forgot about that W-2, or the 1099-INT, or whatever. Nope, won't work. If you conveniently "forget" to include some income, the IRS might think that you've "forgotten" more income as well.
- Using The Wrong Social Security Number
This is always the one that pops somewhere near the top of the list every year. Double check the Social Security numbers of everyone on your filing. Your elderly mom might have gotten the numbers mixed up, so look at her actual Social Security card.
- You Own A Cash Business
Just like the hooker we discussed in the last post, you should file taxes if you run your own business. If your business primarily deals in cash, it's pretty easy to skim a little off the top thinking that no one will notice. If your business does nothing but lose money for years, count on a knock on your door at some point.
- You Make $200,000 Or More
Yeah, life is hard as a six-figure earner. It's even harder than you think! While the risk of being audited is low, it increases significantly as your income increases. If you make $200,000 or more per year, the audit rate increases from 1.11% to 3.93%. By the time your income increases to $1,000,000 per year, the audit rate increases to whopping 1 in 8 (12.5%)!
- You Are Very Charitable
It's nice to give money to charity, but if it looks like you're giving away the farm, the IRS won't be too understanding. Generally, you can slide on contributions lower than $250, but anything above that, you should have a receipt for and be able to substantiate in case they ask.
- You Claim A Home Office
As the lines of work time and home time get blurred, you might be tempted to claim a part of your home as an office and snag a deduction. No so fast, Batman! The IRS is pretty strict about this one. Your space has to be dedicated full-time to work or your deduction will get slashed. As much as I like typing this stuff out from the confines of my side of the bed, alas, I can not deduct it. Bummer.
- You Own Rental Property
This one is going to be sticky for me this year. My rental property is a loss (yippee!) that will push my liability downward. As more people get into the real estate rental income game, many realize that you can deduct up to a $25,000 loss from your income. The problem is that if you hardly participate in managing the property or if the vast majority of your income isn't from real estate, they might ding you for this.
- You Acquired More Children
I have never in my life claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit, and I never will. I make way to much, oh, and I don't have kids. Some clever people have been known to "acquire" a dependent or two around tax time in order to claim this refundable tax credit. While you might love your neighbor's kids like your own, you can't really claim them just for tax purposes, okay?
- You Can't Do Math
Last on the list is just sloppy work. Invest in a calculator when doing your taxes. Sloppy addition and subtraction can land you in the audit list. It pays to slap down $15 for a calculator for this purpose. Don't let forgetting how to add with decimals be the reason why you get an audit letter in the mail.
Listen, doing your taxes really isn't that difficult, and honestly, only 1.6 million returns of 141 million filed in 2010 were audited. If you are uncomfortable doing your own taxes, take advantage of the multitude of different software out there and just GET 'ER DONE!

These are good red flags to know. Interestingly, my refund amount was adjusted ($500 less than I filed for) and I'm not sure why. I'm thinking it might have to do with your last point – maybe some calculation mistake? but we'll see. I'm supposed to find out today…somehow.
My son came 3 weeks early…in December! Good job, frugal baby…well played 😉
We've never been audited, but we don't make a ton, own a business, or claim anything ridiculous. We're pretty simple.
He came right on time to be a deduction! I love it!
I hope I never have to go through an audit. It seems like such a pain in the ass to deal with. The part about claiming a home office is tricky. If you're doing work from home, you should be able to claim part of the space. What if you sometimes use the office for something other than work?
It's tough! It has to be a dedicated space because you're then allowed deductions on all sorts of things related to servicing that square footage.
I'm claiming home office this year… It is a room so I think we'll be ok and I am paying extra tax due to side income from that office.
Home office is a huge red flag. It literally has to be dedicated solely to business.
I think that the government is becoming stricter about taxes due to the amount of debt that the country is in.
I was audited for charitable contributions. I actually gave 15 percent of my income, this was shocking to the IRS. I just showed them the thank you letters and the stack of cancelled checks. The meeting lasted 30 min, it was super easy

Dear Windy Hill members:
Attached is the WHSC subscription ice and membership forms for 2012 - 2013 with the ice priced as follows for Fridays/Saturdays:
Full: $39 for two hours with single payment of $1050/$973; two payments at $41.60 for two hours $562/$520. One hour: $22.25 for a single payment of $600/$555.
Subscription ice begins September 14, 2012 and run through March 16, 2013. There is no ice on December 8 and March 2, 2013.
Walk ons are $28 for one hour and $50 for 2 hours paid up front at the start of the first session only. The single payment subscription gives the best price and the 6.5% discount reflects an offset to the rise in ice costs for this year.
Please note there is a change to the Walk On ice pricing. In order to take advantage of the best pricing, the fee for two hours must be paid at the start of the first session, otherwise the prevailing hourly rate applies to add on another hour. Parents, please note that no skater will be allowed on the ice without payment. Do not drop off your child and pay at the end of the session. Windy Hill SC monitors will not be required to manage individual accounts week to week.
I have been in discussions with Dorothy Hamill Skating Rink concerning addition weekday sessions that may be available on a subscription basis through the Town of Greenwich. As information becomes available I will keep you informed.
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to our upcoming season beginning September 14, 2012
